*SAMPLE SALE* Diving into Marysia

Launched in 2009, NYC-based swimwear label Marysia creates impeccably stylish swimsuits that will make a splash at any poolside or beach gathering. The designer's Italian-made, scallop-edge bikinis are the brand's signature, and their designs are often seen on celebs like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jessica Alba. Being one of their rapidly growing admirers, I was over-the-moon ecstatic to attend their 1-day only sample sale for the first time this morning. So, with the sun-kissed season here, let's dive right into the details.

Marysia Dobrzanska Reeves, the designer behind this chic swimwear label, was there to greet bargain shoppers and fans when the sale opened at the brand's cozy Garment District office. Inside, I found a limited inventory of merchandise with only five racks of resortwear and swimsuits plus twelve bins of bikinis and girls' apparel.

Thankfully though, among this lean selection, I was able to find Marysia's classic styles. On the racks I spotted Mott halterneck one-piece swimsuits available in three different colors: black, white, and pink. Other one-pieces included Antibes, Palm Springs, and Santa Barbara. All one-pieces were priced at $80. As far as bikinis, the brand's trademark scalloped designs like Broadway, Antibes, Mott, and more were placed inside plastic bins on the floor. Tops and bottoms were priced at $40 each and sold separately. The sale also offered beach coverups in the form of maxi dresses, tunics, and jumpsuits. Coverups were $70.

In addition to Marysia, the event offered discounted items from sister brand coolchange, and prices were really great. Dresses & tunics were $40, tops & pants were $30, shorts were $20, swimsuits were $20, beach blankets were $20, sarongs were $10, and girls' clothes were $20.

If you haven't had a chance yet to drop by this 1-day only sale, you might as well wait for their next one as inventory was limited and the line to get in was considerably long. On a final note, there was a communal changing area set up but there were no mirrors. The sale ends at 6pm this evening.
